Psalm 114: Becoming God’s Sanctuary

When Israel came out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.Psalm 114:1-2

Leaving Egypt is a key to becoming God’s sanctuary. God does miracles to free us but we still must believe him and leave. God, help me give not anything, but everything to you. The earth trembles before you – let me also always continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12) – neither by way of platitudes and policies nor by empty ritual – but in the real, magnificent, uncontainable presence of the Lion of Judah.
